Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 15, 2026
LaneScout (“the extension,” “we”) is a Chrome extension that displays public, FMCSA-derived broker-risk signals on the DAT One load board. This policy explains exactly what the extension does and does not do with data. It is written to be accurate to the code, not aspirational.
- We do not collect your browsing history.
- We do not store, resell, or redistribute DAT’s load data (rates, lanes, postings).
- The only data that leaves your browser for a lookup is the broker identifier on a posting — company name, phone, email, and/or MC number.
- Creating an account is optional. If you do, we store your email to authenticate you.
What the extension reads
When you are on one.dat.com, LaneScout reads the load rows already rendered in your browser
to find, per posting, the broker’s company name and one contact (phone or email), and — only when you
expand a load — the MC number. This happens locally in your browser. We do not read any other site.
What is sent off your device, and to whom
- Risk lookups. To place a badge, the extension sends the broker identifier (company name / phone / email / MC number) to the LaneScout lookup service (a Cloudflare Worker). The service returns risk signals derived from a mirror of public FMCSA data. We do not send the rate, lane, commodity, or any other load detail.
- Account sign-in (optional). If you sign in, your email address and authentication tokens are handled by Supabase (our authentication provider) to create and maintain your session. Google sign-in is offered via Google’s standard OAuth; we receive only your email and basic profile.
- Community reports (optional, signed-in only). If you report a contact you believe impersonates a real broker, we send that contact identifier and your user ID so the report can be moderated before it ever affects anyone’s badge.
- Outcome reports (optional, signed-in only). If you record how a booking went, we send the broker identifier and your outcome selection.
We do not send your browsing history, keystrokes, location, or the contents of the load board beyond the broker identifier described above.
What is stored on your device
The extension caches broker lookup results in Chrome’s local storage for up to 24 hours (so the same brokers aren’t re-queried), plus your sign-in session if you have an account. You can clear this at any time by removing the extension or clearing the site’s storage.
Data we store on our servers
- Account: your email address and account identifiers (via Supabase), and your plan.
- Reports/outcomes you submit: the broker/contact identifier, your user ID, and your submission.
- A public FMCSA mirror: broker records we refresh from public FMCSA data. This is public data about businesses, not about you.
We do not store the load postings you view or any DAT proprietary data.
What we do not do
- We do not sell or rent your data.
- We do not transfer your data to third parties except the service providers needed to run the product (Cloudflare for the lookup service, Supabase for authentication, Google for optional sign-in), acting on our behalf.
- We do not use the data for advertising.
The nature of the signals
LaneScout shows informational signals derived from public data; they are decision aids, not a determination or accusation about any company or person. FMCSA data is mirrored periodically, so the detail panel shows the date the data was pulled. Always verify independently before making a booking decision. LaneScout is not affiliated with DAT Solutions or FMCSA.
Data retention and deletion
Cached lookups expire within 24 hours on your device. To delete your account and the reports/outcomes associated with it, contact us at the address below and we will remove them.
Children
LaneScout is a business tool and is not directed to children under 13.
Changes
We may update this policy; the “Last updated” date above will change. Material changes will be noted in the extension’s changelog.
